Maui
Lovely location, fabulous food, super service, entertaining entertainment. We are glad we had premium seating. But, every seat is fantastic.
Elderly people will need to arrange a cart to and from.
We stayed at Marriott and enjoyed the premium upgrade for the luau so much!!
This is a great family Luau, it was your ideal and Typical Luau. Food was buffet style and ready to go with pork, fish, and chicken options. The show completed the different dances of the different Polynesian islands and culture that you would expect and was colorfully narrated. The staff were very friendly and quick to serve. Price is very economical and affordable that was all inclusive with food and drinks. I recommend this packet for families who want to get a Luau in at a budget price.
I'm not going complain about the food, it's good but they need to improved their seating and luau stage, you have to be vip to be able to see the performance. All you see it's people's head if you are seated in the middle or back seat. The dancers don't give a chance to take a nice picture. Not recommend unless you pay vip
Happy you enjoyed the food. Sorry to hear you didn't have a great view from your seat. I wish you had said something to a manager so we could have tried to accommodate. We will soon be moving to an elevated stage but have to wait for approval from the county liquor department. Until then we have added elevated seating in the back to help guests be able to see better that are seated in the farthest rows. We also try to put groups with children close to the front so the children can see since they are shorter. We hope you were still able to enjoy the music and show and hope you will give us another chance in the future.
Nice and easy water cycling, first time doing it but caught on quick!
My hubby and I wanted a more intimate luau experience…something more like a real family luau! We found it! Although there was no emu ceremony, we were immediately seated and our drink orders taken. Then we were invited to a lovely buffet without having to wait…delicious mahi, chicken and the most delicious pork I have ever had at ANY luau! Decadent desserts too - yum! After dinner, we experienced a one hour Hawaiian luau show. The dancers were extremely skilled and their performances very entertaining. The fire knife dancer was excellent and never dropped a fire stick. Music, songs, dancing and continued drink service during a lovely sunset and a twinkle-lit venue.
We loved the experience and enjoyed it immensely….fabulous food, positive personalities, delightful dancers, melodious music - the perfect evening at a more affordable price! We’ll be back with more family!
In the first week of January, the sea was calm, and I was able to join the tour without getting seasick. The boat was also large. We got really close to the whales at the viewing point, and we could see them well. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and they brought them to us when we ordered, but we could also go to the counter to get them. The service was good as well. Since you can get sunburned, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential.
1月の1週目、海は穏やかで船酔いすなことなくツアーに参加できました。船も大きかった。ポイントについてすぐ近くまでクジラがきて良く見えました。ドリンクも飲み放題でオーダーすると持ってきてくれましたし、カウンターに取りに行くこともできました。サービスも良かったです。日焼けするので日焼け止め、帽子サングラスは必須です。
We had mild expectations due to my wife's previous whale watching trip.
This visit exceeded our expectations. The captain was very informative and kept us on our toes with whale sightings. W e had a great time for our party of 5.
Thank you for the feedback.
This was so fun for our group of 18 people! The buffet was great with tons of options that everyone liked. There was a great dessert spread too. Our waiter was awesome and on top of bringing us all-you-can-drink beverages. The entertainment was so fun, with a mix of Hawaiian history between acts. A must-do if you've never been to a luau!
Mahalo!
Enjoyed Food and Ambience and Show, Actual Show could have been little longer not including the dinner time.
Amazing experience food was delicious the performance was fantastic everything was great
Aloha Abraham,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and your glowing review! We are so happy to hear that you had a great time and will pass on your accolades for the meal to the hotel. Mahalo!
We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our entire family in Maui and this was one of the first activities we all participated in. We have a 12-year-old down syndrome granddaughter who loved the Polynesian dancing and actually stood up and danced with the dancer on board. It was such a dear Experience to observe. The wonderful gentleman on the guitar played a very special song for my husband and myself by Rod Stewart called…..Have I told you lately. Even though it was very windy we had a great experience!
We had an absolute blast on the sunset cruise. The staff was increíble, you can tell they truly love what they do. From the drinks to the show, everything was fantastic.
Was a great experience, beautiful and fun! Would recommend
A great experience. Food was delicious and entertainment was amazing
I chose this tour thinking that a large ship would be less rocky since I was with elderly people. It was a two-story boat, and we were able to sit at the front on the second floor. The boat's rocking was minimal.
There was a complimentary soft drink service, but it wasn't distributed to everyone; instead, those who wanted it had to go get it themselves. My family was so focused on watching the whales that we didn't take advantage of it.
We were able to see many whales, but we didn't get very close to them, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was satisfied overall. On a previous whale watching tour, the boat was smaller, and we could see the whales up close, which felt more thrilling, so I was a little let down this time, but I think it's just a matter of luck.
I heard that whales can be seen at any time of day, so I think the early morning trips are a good deal.
The parking lot had information about free parking in the tour's pre-explanation document, so we parked according to that. There are several free parking areas in Lahaina.
高齢者が一緒だったので、大型船の方が揺れが少ないと思い、このツアーを選びました。2階建ての船で、2階の前方に座ることができました。
船の揺れは少なかったです。
無料のソフトドリンクサービスがついていたのですが、全員に配られるのではなく、欲しい人が取りに行くという方法でした。鯨を見るのに夢中だった我が家は利用しませんでした。
鯨は沢山見ることができましたが、すぐ近くで、という状況にはなかなかならず、でも満足でした。以前参加したホエールウォッチングツアーの方が船が小さかったせいか、鯨もすぐ近くで見られてより迫力を感じられたので、ちょっと残念でしたが、こればかりは運だと思います。
どの時間帯でも鯨は見られるとのことなので、早朝便はお得だと思います。
駐車場は、ツアーの事前説明書に無料の駐車場の案内もあるので、そちらに従って停めました。ラハイナには無料の駐車場は何か所かあります。
John was an awesome guide. Perfect excursion, we got to swim with turtles, touched an octopus and watched a Manta Ray swim beneath us. Excellent tour !!!
Great time. Loved the personalized attention to all but especially how they were so sweet to a special needs guest. I highly recommend.
Great way to spend a morning on the beautiful blue water of Wailea. We saw turtles swimming around us, whales off in the distance, and held a pencil urchin. The guys that run this are so nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.
This was an incredibly fun experience. What a great way to see the island. The first half was kayaking and snorkeling which was so fun—Jeremiah (Miah) was a knowledgeable and patient instructor. The second half was lunch and then a water fall hike with Nick from HikeMaui—Nick was a kind and intelligent guide and taught us so much about Maui. We also toured a farm and learned a lot about fruits and botany grown in Hawaii. 10/10 experience.
Our family went on the early morning Whale Watching tour. It was worth getting up early to go! Our captain was very knowledgeable about the tour and surrounding islands. He took us a little farther out so we were able to see 3 whales! It was 2 males chasing down a female and she was leading them out on a chase! I would definitely recommend this cruise!
We really enjoyed the kayak and snorkel trip from Makena Beach - there was also excellent support from our guide !!!!
Our instructor Kioki was so cool. He says he’s a surfer not and instructor and we learned so quick. We felt comfortable and after we got the hang of it Kioki let us catch our own waves. Honestly so easy to learn how to surf with Kioki.
The dinner was delicious it was family style, the luau was informative and really cool to see. But I’d say it was over priced like everything in Hawaii
We just did a paddle boarding lesson with Eps. He was awesome and we spent a great time learning how to stand up and use the paddles properly. Eps was patient and gave us loads of info about the island he obviously loves. We saw loads of turtles, a baby shark and loads of fish. We will definitely try paddle boarding again.
The crew is exceptional! You might be turned off initially that the crew is also performing but don’t be. They’re so good and very much a steward of the culture. They’re extremely talented, entertaining and my wife and I loved every minute of it! The food was good, the atmosphere was obviously amazing (it’s Maui). The captain is a super chill guy, he does a brief education of the islands that was super interesting and informative. I can’t say enough good things about this dinner cruise. To top is off the crew involved some of the guests in the show and everyone was just having a great time.
I highly recommend this activity, you won’t regret it!
John Hess was fabulous. Our whole family had the most amazing time. After talking about our week every one of us said this was an activity we would do again especially if we could have John as our guide.
We had a great time in this tour! All the staff are very nice and entertaining. We would go again!
There was a whole family of tem it was a bit scary but surreal!
HI Kara,
Thank you for your review. Glad you saw some awesome whale action!
Very far away sightings. Not close enough to see whales good. Ok but there are cheaper boats for same quality.
Aloha, Thank you for your feedback. We are one of the least expensive whale watch trips available. We are happy you joined.
